This has not been a good night for the Trannies. Not only did Hoa Van Tran see his campaign for the First Supervisorial District collapse when two of his cholo campaign workers were arrested for attempted murder, but now evidence has come to my attention that Dina Nguyen’s alleged brother may be an even worse maldito than Van Tran’s gang banger staffers.

On December 7, 2007, a fellow that has been fingered as Dina’s brother (or half-brother), who goes by the name of Vinh Hoang Tran, was arrested for his involvement in a major international drug ring. Dina’s parents, who own a house on Cherokee, in Westminster, put up their house for the $150,000 surety bond. That means his bail was $1.5 million and they put up ten percent. He is thought to be currently under house arrest and he is likely (although not known for certain) staying at the Cherokee house.

The house was originally purchased by Dina and Hung Vu in 1989 (listed as husband and wife, although there are no marriage records) and then Hung Vu quitclaimed the property to Dina in 1992. She sold the house to her parents in 1995 and the last time she reports living there was in 2001.

The drug bust that resulted in Vinh Hoang Tran’s arrest was HUGE. “Orange County was only one of several stops in an international scheme in which ringleaders transported marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and methamphetamines across four countries to make the highest profit, authorities said,” according to the O.C. Register.

Leaders took advantage of lax laws to cheaply produce drugs, and then smuggled them through Canada, Mexico, Australia and the United States to sell at the highest possible prices, said Jose Martinez, spokesman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Six of the 10 individuals named in a federal indictment resided in Orange County, in Westminster, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, Huntington Beach and Anaheim, Martinez said. They were arrested Dec. 5, 6 and 7 as authorities served search warrants across California.

Thai Phi Do, 34, of Santa Ana and Luan Nguyen, 43, of Westminster, were the alleged heads of the cell in Orange County, Martinez said. The two took direction from 23-year-old Minh Tan Le, who investigators said led the entire operation from Vancouver, Canada, he said.

About $2 million in cash, 55,000 pills of ecstasy and 18 pounds of methamphetamine were seized in the investigation, which was dubbed Ramen Noodle by officials.

High-volume narcotic sales in the United States, Mexico and Canada helped to aid the operation, an investigator said.

According to officials, large quantities of marijuana and ecstasy were transported from Canada to the United States, where they were sold in large quantities.

The money derived from sales in the United States was then transported by vehicle across the border to Mexico, Martinez said.

Ironic, isn’t it? Dina and the Trannies LOVE to complain about Mexicans. She even joined Assemblyman Van Tran and a plane full of Trannies in a tour of our border with Mexico, where they all ripped Mexican immigrants, as we reported previously. And now we find out that it is very likely that her own brother was involved in drug deals that sent boatloads of money to Mexican drug dealers!

You can read more about the arrest of Vinh Hoang Tran at this link. The court documents are available here. And the DEA published an article about the arrest here. In the court document you will see that Dina’s parents put up the Cherokee house as bail collateral to get Vinh Hoang Tran out of jail.

If all of this checks out, Dina Nguyen is as finished as Hoa Van Tran. How can we even think of voting for candidates whose family and staffers are steeped in crime? Supervisors have oversight over the Sheriff’s department! Be sure to take this into account when you vote on June 3.

“community activist” brings up a great point about the parents and kids who’s lives have been destroyed by drugs, and dina’s brother is resposible for dealing in that poison that destroys peoples lives. hell yes he should be exposed. and “flowerszzzz”, i dont have kids but i have chickens so i guess i am a parent in a way. i will say this: never have my chickens been involved with doing or selling drugs and they are proud american chickens and not communists like dina nguyen. i have raised them well thank you.

You challenged my intellectual capabilities, so I pointed out that I am better educated than you are. Now that alone is not a sign of intelligence, but you cannot get an MBA if you are a complete dumbass. And I missed honors by only .6%. I did graduate summa cum laude when I completed my B.S.

You and I both graduated from top-ranked Catholic high schools. I graduated a year early, from Don Bosco Tech, with a 3.78 GPA. Again, that may or not mean anything, but you know full well that idiots don’t graduate from Catholic high schools a year early with that kind of GPA.

I scored a composite score of 31 on the ACT. That put me in the top percentile of ACT composite scores at 98 out of 100.

I’m not bragging, but I do think it is idiotic of you to challenge me on intellectual grounds. Are you simply assuming that Mexican Americans are stupid? Is that your problem? Didn’t you marry a Mexican American?

The fact is, you can argue with me and say I am wrong but calling me an idiot just won’t stand up. In fact I would hesitate to call you an idiot, although I do believe you are a political hack.

It is interesting that you would accuse me of breaking out the fangs and claws when YOU were the one to say that I lacked intellectual capability. I merely asked you to clarify why you supported John Urell, a man who RAN INTERFERENCE for molesters. You still have not answered that question.

If people want to know what sort of intellect you have I suggest they go to the John and Ken radio show website and listen to John and Ken ripping you a new one over the Urell Amigos fiasco…

I haven’t called you an idiot. I don’t think you are an idiot. Far from it. It takes a cunning intelligence to twist the truth as adroitly as you do.

I pointed out that you typically respond to criticism of your posts by changing the subject — and further pointed out that is the mark of a weak mind — not an unintelligent one. It’s a practice for which you are well known in the OC blogosphere.

What’s a degree good for in POLITICS if you have people like VAN Tran or paid writers like Dina to help inflate, lie and twist the truths for you? the Trannies and Dina Nguyen are so hungry for power they would go to any length to get there, by speed (Dina’s brother would know), weed (Dina’s brother would know also)or greed (this one the Tranniies will know)…

Jabal, I hope you will try to at least get to know our Viet community a little better so you know how we really feel about the TRANNIES, we are really sick of them bullying people and we despise them for acting like THUGS and we wish the non-Viet will soon see rigth through these crooks and bullies that call themselves leaders like the TRANNIES. They are just a bunch of self serving crooks!!!Thanks for your response Jabal…

I only have a high school degree but an IQ around 135. Since we’re quantifying intelligence and all, you should know that puts me in the 98th percentile.

How am I less intelligent merely because abuse in my youth and being forced to fend for myself starting on my 18th birthday kept me from attending college?

Looking back, I realize that not going to college may have been better for me as now I can represent the intelligent, but undereducated among us. Please don’t knock us because we didn’t have the same opportunities that some others did.

Like I said earlier I have met some very well educated people, without a lick of common sense. I am with you on this Sarah.

Jose – you should be careful what you judge. I learned a LONG time ago that the minute I judge someone for something it ends up happening to me or someone close to me. If & when you ever do have kids you’ll understand.

An NO I am not more concerned about the feelings of Dina’s parents then the others, I just think it is irrelevant to this race.

I think you missed the point. Matt/Jubal questioned my intellect. I offered proof that he was wrong to do so. While education is not proof of intellect, the fact is idiots don’t get MBAs, well with the possible exception of George Bush.

I do not denigrate people with less education. But let’s get back to the point here, Matt/Jubal tried to denigrate me. And I proved he was absolutely wrong to do so.

BTW, I got BOTH of my college degrees after I turned 30. So really nothing is stopping you or anyone else from going back to school, if you ever decide to do so.

I am a trainer and I teach at a community college. And I am a high level manager in an $85 million company. The college degrees are a necessity for what I do. And I have doubled my salary since finishing my MBA. Can’t knock that.

My dick is bigger than your dick, blah, blah, blah.
While it makes for great sport to juxtapose Dina’s brother’s troubles onto her campaign the real issue here, in my opinion, is only one of potential influence. Is it likely that Dina’s vote might be influenced by her relative named in the Register article (step-brother?) whose judgement and motives we now have reason to question? I’m still unwilling to convict him before a trial but that doesn’t mean I have to trust him. The question is does she? Does he have access to a criminal element and does a criminal element have access through him to her? Some people are very estranged from members of their family and I wonder what Dina’s relationship with her step-brother was like. These are questions her voters are going to want answered, along with the 25K loans, the no incomoe, the multiple houses questions. I mean it could be a Tony Robbins success story but I’m a little suspicious that it is not.

@ Community Activist.
You speak for yourself. I am Vietnamese and I,together with a lot of other Vietnamese will support Dina and (the Trannies like you call them). Wait and see who get more Viet votes in the coming election.

“flowerszzz” i would understand better if i had kids? give me a break! i live in a neighborhood with a major gang and drug problem so when a drug dealer is cought it makes me very happy. and keep in mind this isnt a minor drug dealer not if his bail was 150 thousand. and the thought of his bail coming from a home that has a shady history of ownership only makes matters worse. and the thought of a communist in our community who threatened irvine valley college and got her way and happens to be that drug dealers sister and just so happens to hold office and is seeking a higher office i just have to say, that scares me shi*less! we have enough thugs in our community running our community. the last thing we need is another who just so happens to be a communist.

Never mind the Vietnamese votes. I expect a majority of them will stick with the incumbent. The broader question is how FEW white and Latino votes Van Tran will get now that EVERYONE knows he is affiliated with cholos. I suspect he will get very few.

Dina also is in trouble now that everyone knows about her family’s sordid involvement in MAJOR drug dealing.

Congrats to Supervisor Janet Nguyen. She will surely be reelected by a comfortable margin.

Hoang, are you her relative? Only her relative would stick their head out at this time to say something as stupid as that!!! Why dont’ you get your ass down to Star Buck off Edinger & Brookhurst when it gets a bit busy and listen to all the negative talks about Dina and her clans…

What make you think that they are unemployed? Even if they are I still have more respect for them then your DRUG LORD family members and the dishonest and shady Dina. We should deport your whole family back to the Communist country where you belong! We need to keep our kids safe and our family drug free!!!

Sarah I am in totally agreement with you there!!!
Hoang, if you are not related to Dumb Dina and gangster/drug lord brother then why would you want to vote for her? It’s people like you that scares us. It’s people like you that destroys this community, it’s people like YOU, DINA, the TRANNIES and her BROTHER THE INTERNATIONAL DRUG DEALERS that gives all of us a BAD NAME. Hoang, take your trash and get out of Little Saigon! You are totally dillusional and we are sick of HAVING TO LIVE AMONG DRUG DEALERS, CRIMINALS AND DISHONEST POLITICIANS!!! Enough is ENOUGH!!!

By the way Hoang, it’s also a very stupid comment that you made. YOu vote for Dina because of people like student? So it has nothing to do with their ability serve, their integrity, their moral standards, their experience, their honesty or their character at all? You are as dumb as Dina, you are definitely related to DINA. Take a look at her interview with Bolsavik regarding her campaign, she’s beyond DUMB, she’s retarded!!! Tell her to get a real job!

By the way, on her walk piece, Hoang you might want to remind her not to LIE again!!! She’s only been an attorney a few years ago, she did work at the COURT HOUSE BUT ONLY AS A CLERK NOT AN ATTORNEY SO dont’ mislead the public AGAIN with her LIES!!!

The Trannies take credit of everything good that happens in Viet town and they use these papers to print their writer’s materials which is totally twisted and they block real news from being printed if it’s negative about them!!! Why do you think all the Viet papers didn’t print anything about Janet’s Endorsement by the Republican Party and how Van Tran and his groupies were criticized for playing DIRTY POLITICS.

Someone needs to communicate the nefarious activities of the whole Van Tran Clan to the whole Viet community. He takes out full page ads in Vietnamese telling them to vote as a block and has pictures and names of who to vote for. Because he is an Assemblyman that commands respect from the older generation of Vietnamese, they do it.

But if someone could get through his block wall around that community and tell them about the dirty politics, the close associations with persons of highly questionable moral ethics, perhaps they would find the courage to clean up their suppressed community and truly be free of intimidation.

As far as degrees vs. intelligence? I find it amusing. I have no degree, but a high I.Q. I have worked for many years for an institution of higher learning with rapidly growing national and international ratings. I work in a department that grants PhD’s and I work with 40-50 Professors all having PhD’s. Some couldn’t find their way out of a wet paper bag with holes in it. Some tilt at windmills which is pretty standard in academia especially in research, it is the nature of the beast. Some have no common sense whatsoever. Others are highly intelligent, without any social skills. Others are so narrowly focused they miss the human quotient. And, actually there are a few really nice, very down to earth, very sincere Professors. What is the common thread of all of them though? They are liberals. This is pretty amazing to me that they area so highly intelligent and miss so much of the big picture in “real life”. But hey, then so does at least half the country. LOL

Dina is a very hardball politic person it very interesting to see you digging up her thrash thanks for it man. I bet she even support her brother on send out more weapon for drug dealers down south to have the full blown out war with crooked Federally. Tran Thai Van want to build Casino in Westminster to have more money to run their own politican like mafia style those in Las Vegas style but to bad the Vietnamese community have spoken and shut down his idea, it could open to more job but more traffic jam to the street for sure if they ever build a casino down near OC

Dina is no hardball Politician, she’s just a follower, she does whatever the TRANNIES script for you to do. Try asking her a question about anything to see if she could even have the correct answer (don’t expect an intelligent answer) for you!!! I have no doubt if she also got sticky fingers. Dig a little deeper and you will find plenty of skeletons in that camp! Especially with Dina. I don’t know how this woman is not embarassed by all this. I guess she’s used to it. Where she came from, this is quite normal and having a dirty reputation with men is probably something she’s very proud of…

DINA, GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR TOWN. YOU MUDDY OUR WATER AND GIVE US A BAD NAME!!! WE VIETNAMESE DO HAVE PRIDE AND DO CARE A GREAT DEAL ABOUT FAMILY VALUES AND ETHICS. YOU HAVE NONE!!! WHAT A BIMBO. YOU ARE SO DUMB IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY.
